India’s air defence system S-400 has shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet and 2 JF-17s amid ongoing artillery firing and drone attack by the Pakistani side in India’s Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan regions.
A wave of high-intensity conflict has gripped India’s western frontier , including in several sectors of Jammu and Kashmir, and Rajasthan. The situation has intensified across multiple sectors, with complete blackouts enforced in Punjab’s Ferozepur district, which lies dangerously close to the Pakistan border. Locals in the area reported loud firing sounds, fueling panic and speculation.
In a bold escalation, artillery shelling was also reported in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, with unconfirmed reports suggesting an attempted attack on the Jaisalmer airport by Pakistani forces. Security forces remain on high alert.
Srinagar airport has been put on high alert amidst drone and artillery firing from Pakistan.
Further north, the districts of Uri and Baramulla in Kashmir have been plunged into darkness, with a complete communications and power blackout underway as Pakistan continues heavy shelling along both the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC).
As the situation develops rapidly, authorities are urging residents to stay indoors and follow official advisories. The coordinated nature of these events across multiple states points to a serious escalation in hostilities, marking one of the most intense cross-border flare-ups in recent months.
